The Fortnite Ice Storm event has now begun.

The orb has now opened, the Ice King has appeared from within, and the Ice Storm event has officially begun. The Fortnite Ice Storm event heralds the onset of new challenges for players, with the promise of cool rewards if you manage to complete them all. Fortnite leakers have captured a video of the event's beginning and you can check it out below.
